This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want to see greater transparency of publicly funded research, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. It's not clear if you want the Government to make publication of research a condition of providing funding, or something else.

The Government also provides funding to organisations that commission their own research, and decisions about this is published would be a matter for the commissioning organisation, not the Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
